This is a thing that keeps Manjappada different from others. This club never takes to harming or hurting any player or fan, by the means of actions or words. The club members make sure that the chants are kept civil and no one gets offended.

Manjappada create chants that are a treat to players on the field. Oye Oye Oye and Sandesh Jhingan are famous fan-favorite chants of the Blaster's fans. The players and staff who came and went to Kochi have always mentioned these and are sure to do the same in the future.

They have also grabbed attention for the love shown towards the visiting players and fans. Every person who has made a visit to the fort has been treated well by the Yellow Army, and they continue to support good football despite the side.


#1 Crowd numbers and passion

The biggest quality Manjappada has showcased over the years is their never-ending passion to the game. It is often football over the team for the Keralites as they never forget to identify and appreciate good football from the rivals.

Kerala Blasters have always topped the ISL list of highest attendance. They have had the highest average attendance in all the past 4 seasons. In the first season, Kochi had the highest average attendance of 47,000 people followed by 52,000 and 48,000 in 2015 and 2016 seasons respectively. In the very last season, 38,000 came to watch the matches despite the limited number of seats that were available.

The huge support even for matches on weekdays wouldn't have been possible without a pro-active fan club like Manjappada and Blasters would always be thankful for this continuous support from their army.
